Ford announces details of new Transit van

I wonder if Ford could use an AWD set up similar to the Flex.
I know, not hard enough for the expo crowd but I would find it usefull for the travelling we do.

Hope they offer an AWD option. This article seems to think they will.

Quote: "A six-speed transmission sourced from the F-150 will send power to the rear wheels, but Ford’s execs also suggested that an all-wheel drive version will be available soon."

Soon in manufacturer pre release language usually means possibly but not likely.
Kinda like the diesel Wrangler Unicorn Edition in North America.

Like the Sprinter AWD - available - everywhere else.

Not sure where I read it (maybe here), but the post was about the lack of a 4wd/AWD van option in the US being about liability and law suits. Is that what the general consensus is?
